Nue's Exorcist Volume 1 Manga Review

Nue’s Exorcist is the sort of book that’s more fun the less you think about it. ― The history of the nue is long in Japanese yokai lore, dating back to at least the Heian period, when it was described in Heike Monogatari as a chimera-like creature composed of bits and pieces of snake, chicken, tiger, tanuki, and monkey. Different variations on the theme followed, but manga fans may best know it as th...

I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level Season 2 Anime Series Review

CITY Volume 1 Manga Review

CITY revels in the casual charms of our lives, delights in our mundanity, and provides more than a few chuckles along the way. ― The first volume of CITY is a delightful slice of life slapstick romp that asks very little of the reader while eliciting a lot of great feelings. CITY is a simple work at face value. Three young women – Midori, Ayumu, and Wako – all go to Mont Blanc University in a city na...
